José María Mijares (1921–2004), commonly listed as José Mijares, was a Cuban painter associated with twentieth-century Cuban art. Biographical material in the collected source pack says he studied at Havana’s San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts, later taught there, and was influenced by artists connected with the Havana School. It also places him among Los Diez Pintores Concretos, a short-lived group active from 1959 to 1961 and associated with the development of Cuban concrete art. Mijares left Cuba in 1968 and continued working in Miami. Collectors may encounter his name in abbreviated form or under the fuller authority heading José María Mijares Fernández, so matching signatures, cataloguing, and provenance to the correct identity matters. The available sources establish him primarily as a painter, but they do not provide enough institution-grade detail to define a complete catalogue of his mediums, subjects, or stylistic phases.

Painting

Common works and media

The collected authority and biographical sources consistently identify Mijares as a painter, making paintings the clearest supported work type for auction and appraisal searches. This source pack does not reliably establish particular paint media, recurring subjects, print editions, sculpture, ceramics, or named series. Those details should be taken from the object itself, its documentation, and comparable lot cataloguing rather than inferred from the artist’s name.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by confirming that a work belongs to the Cuban painter José María Mijares rather than another person with the same abbreviated name. When reliable lot records are available, useful comparisons consider the stated attribution, work type, medium, date, dimensions, subject, condition, provenance, sale date, and realized price. Comparable lots should be similar in more than name alone. The collected input indicates a substantial public auction-record footprint, but the source pack did not expose individual records or a major-auction-house biography. Any market conclusion therefore requires inspection of the specific object and current, verifiable comparable sales rather than an unsupported price forecast.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings

Value drivers

  1. Correct identity matching across the short name José Mijares and fuller authority forms such as José María Mijares Fernández
  2. Comparison with public auction records assigned to the artist, including sale date, realized price, and comparable lot characteristics when available
  3. Documented attribution, date, medium, dimensions, condition, provenance, and subject matter of the individual work

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack contains no accessible major-auction-house biography or catalogue entry for this artist.
  • The collected Appraisily page request was rate-limited, so individual lot descriptions and realized-price records were not available for review.
  • No catalogue raisonné or artist-estate source was collected; attribution should not be inferred from name matching alone.
  • A German authority heading within the VIAF cluster reports 2001 as the death year, while Wikidata and the Library of Congress-aligned VIAF heading report 2004.
